3rd pair owned in the last 20 years ... first pair made in England lasted over 15 years of hard use before the original style soles wore through and cracked. 2nd pair made in Vietnam are 6 years old and still going with 80% worn soles.
This pair is now made in China ... build quality, soles, and leather foot beds look to be identical to the previous Vietnam model I have. These one's seem to be breaking in faster, feet were only tingly for a week or so.
If you buy them a little smaller as there are no half sizes, the width will stretch out over time. Go by the Euro sizing to get a better fit if you cant try them on in store.
